After reading an article about them just a couple of weeks ago, I managed to buy a pair while on a business trip to Tokyo this week (grabed a pair of Iron Hearts as well) . Unfortunately they are not available anywhere close to where I live. Can't wait to get home to finally wear them .

By popular demand, the "Midnight Warrior" is coming back, but this time in a different fit - Tapered! BOM005 goes into production very soon and scheduled for release in February 2013. This series will be limited to 60 pairs available in sizes 28-36.

The "Midnight Warrior" was the original design used on the first denim in the Blue Owl x Momotaro collaboration series. The denim uses a super dark indigo with black stitching and details that makes the denim look black, yet will fade to a beautiful indigo full of variations. The fabric is the identical denim used in the Momotaro Vintage Series which is rope dyed in pure indigo to a super dark shade of blue. We used black stitching throughout and a black deer skin patch to give a clean look making the denim look black, at least until the fabric starts to fade. Finally with a tribute to the Going to Battle series and what has become one of the recognizable symbols of the Momotaro label we added the battle stripes, but in black. Thus we are proud to re-introduce the "Midnight Warrior" denim.

This time the fabric will be sanforized in the Rampuya original 15.7oz raw selvedge. This denim is made of super dense 6s Zimbabwe cotton yarn that has a hairy surface and vintage texture. The denim also features Momotaro's traditional pink selvedge line and purple inseam color.

Coming Soon! Momotaro x Blue Owl 13oz Silk Blend "Tapered" Raw Selvedge - BOM004
We have yet another project in the works - Momotaro x Blue Owl BOM004. Our newest Momotaro collab has just been finalized and is scheduled to be released before the holidays. This denim will feature a silk blend fabric which uses 40% silk and 60% Zimbabwe cotton and it introduces a new fit never made by Momotaro....."tapered!" Here are a few more details.
The fabric is a 13oz sanforized selvedge made with a blend of silk for the weft yarns and Zimbabwe cotton on the warp. The Zimbabwe cotton is rope dyed in pure indigo to a super dark color, but the actual color has a blue gray tone as the silk can be seen along the surface. The exterior surface has slubby texture and a soft feel with a touch of crispness. The interior is incredibly soft, like wearing silk bed sheets wrapped around your legs. Bottom line, this denim is pure luxury, plus it will fade well as the dark indigo will give a nice contrast after some wear. Light blue gray thread was used throughout the denim, including the exposed inseam, which has a slight contrast against the pure indigo dyed fabric. The fit is the same "tapered fit" that is used Japan Blue tapered denims. The fit has a medium to low rise, a bit of room in the thigh, and tapers from upper to a narrow leg opening.
